What does the yellow exclamation mark in Mercedes-Benz mean?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car, it indicates potential general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, lighting faults, among others. Additionally, there are many other indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of various exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance, components, or functions have malfunctioned. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or failure, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses represents a brake system warning, indicating either a brake system fault or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line with an exclamation mark inside parentheses below represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. In addition, during daily vehicle use, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors: yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system that is not very severe. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair point to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious issue in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional assistance to prevent unpredictable risks to the vehicle and personal safety. It is important to note that when the car is started, all lights will illuminate for an automatic system check and will turn off after the check is completed. If a light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection and to eliminate safety hazards.
